OF TADPOLES IS
SCIENCE PUZZLE
- YELLOW SPRINGS, Ohio, June
27. (JPi Tadpoles may not blush,
(but they have a trick of complex.
Ion change which Interests biolo
gists at Antloch college.
In or dark place, .or against a
, dark background, they turn slight
ly dark. In a white chamber their
sklna, become a few shades light-
-er. .,-.... -
v The . darkening is . duo to the
skin pigment spreading into star-
, like . shapes, -while, the paling
comes "from contraction of the
pigment into dots. -
The .underlying . causes are
sought .- by Dr.1 Henry Federlghi,
assistant - professor, of biology.
j.: He 'removes, a patch of tadpole
skin and grafts it back into place.
There follows a period when it la
fed only by the blood vessels, as
the nerves are elower about mending;-
- ' '-'
" In the different periods of heal-
ing' Dr. Federlghi hopes to leain
-whether the blood or the nerves
'control the pigment changes. It
blood proves the control, It might
be said a tadpole, can blush to re
main unseen, ....

TO SAFE
"While a great deal Is heard of
"Safety First," it is not always
realized that the motor vehicles
of today are much safer ' to op
erate, than were - those of even
two or three years ago.
Not only does each year see an
improvement in the mechanical ef
ficiency of the Vehicles when con
sidered simply as means of trans
port, but at the same time there
is an advance In the inherent
safety of the cars so that those
who are quite inexperienced in
their use may drive without rir.k
of endangering themselves or oth
er users of the- road.
"Probably the most notable con
tribution to safe driving In re
cent years is the silent shift Syn-
cro-Mesh type of transmission,
-such as Is now used in all models
of the 1931 Buick line," declares
tC E. Loomis, Pacific regional
manager of the Bulck Motor com
, pany. ' "The outstanding value of
Byncro-Mesh is the ability' to shitt
silently nnd- quickly from first to
second, second to high, or from
high hack to second. This is
tremendous 'advantage In driving
up' or down a steep hill, In traf
fic, or on slippery pavements when
it is often aesirable to shift from
high' to second without a fraction
.of, ."delay' so aa to use the engine
for1' additional braking effort. In
slowing down the car in this man
ner 'the speed of the real wheels
--'is retarded equally as a result of
the1: action of the differential
-Which ,' transmits either driving
force or braking effort from tho
engine to the wheels equally
Braking power applied in this
manner reduces the tendency to
skid as well as adds greatly to
the braking efficiency of the mo
tor car.;
v "The mechanical design of
Bulck's Syncro-Mesh transmission
is a, device which causes two
- gears about to mesh to revolve at
the same speed. This effect Is ob
tafned with two clutches. As the
gear shift lever is moved from
neutral It, acts on one or othei
of these clutches, causing the
clutch to synchronize the two
gears about to mesh. The gears
are synchronized so quickly that,
with no pause in the motion of
shifting, the final movement is
made while the gears are revolv
ing at exactly the same speed
Aa a result, the teeth Interlock
quickly, easily and silently."

PACIFIC AIRPORTS
The Pacific west pilot can pret
ty well pick and choose when it
comes to finding a place to set
down his plane nowadays, with
some 475 airports bidding for his
favor, in 1027 tho most that Pa
cific coast states could boast, of
in the matter of flying fields was
about 125, and airplanes were
more or lens fledglings in tho
field of commerce.
A now directory of airports,
published' by standard Oil Com
pany of California and now being
distributed to licensed pilots, given
tho above figures as the result o
tho Company's airport directory
surveys during tho past four
years.
Compaiison of facts- In, avia
tion's national progress reveals
tlrnt , In 1927 few aviators had
lighting facilities or suitable serv
ice accommodations,; and ground
conditions depended more or ;less,
on the weather. There were only
about 900 airplanes in use then,
while In 1930 the number total
ed over G0OO, many of giant size
that require solid paved surface
for landing and tho .most ..com
plete facilities for upkeep: During
the same period the number .of
airplane passengers increased 700
percent, 38C000 in 1 927, 3,000,-J
000 in 1030. During the past two
years the Standard Oil planes
alone took aloft 25,000, People,
many of them thus experiencing
air travel for tho first time. The
company's six giant beacons are
familiar sky-wny night signs along
the route from Seattle to 1 San

PANAMA FOLKS
DENVER. Colo., Juno 27. (UP)
Plans are being drawn In. tho of
fices of f he United btates reclama
tion fervlce in Denver for a $15,
00.000 dam to be constructed
across, the -Cbagres river In Pan
ama. ; . ' '
The plans are practically com
plete, according to E. S. Randolph,
designing engineer In charge, and
tho government is expected to call
for bids on' the project some time
between July 1 and July. 10.
' The bids aro to be opened about
September 1 In the Panama canal
offtce in the Munitions building In
Washington. '
The purpose of the proposed
dnm Is three-fold to provide for
an anticipated increase In water
demand due to normal growth in
traffic through the Panama canal;
provide additional hydro-electric
power and .to control floods on the
Chagred river.
Construction of such a dam,
Randolph said, has been contem
plated for about 35 years. The
old French canal company huw
that if a canal using the lock
system were to be built across
Panama it would be necessary to
create a - supplementary water
supply In -addition to the regular
lake to operate tho locks.
Gatun lake, which forms the
present water supply was also
formed by damming the Chagros
river.
Hadden dnm, which has been
designated ns the namo for the
new project, will be located near
